Oh and tell some more about OS etc and we'll likely be able to be
pretty ... detailed.
What we're all suspecting is that you've either skipped some steps in
the setup instructions... or perhaps followed some outdated howto, or
similar. So that you still have the "non-MailScanner" MTA running,
thus bypassing MS altogether... Logs and headers (or rather... absence
of MailScanner-specific headers) are clear signs of such a problem.
